Chapter 4: The Mystery —Luke
Bruce has been missing ever since we got stranded on this island. We are all curious about the whole issue. He was gone when we all woke up, and we are all dying to know. So, today when the sun came up, Dean and I went exploring. We found Bruce—dead. We think he was mauled by some sort of large cat since we found him bloody and scratched. But we did find something positive—Bruce left some fish and berries, clean water, a first aid kit from the plane, and a real tent. We took all of it. Also, Dean found out a way to make a shower. He put a cooler on a string in a tree that was connected to a pan with several holes in it. When we fill the cooler that we found on the plane with water and pull the string, the water comes out. It works, and we all really appreciate the invention.
As for us here, we have created many new inventions. For example, Lorelei thought of the idea to make a sort of closet type of thing with the leftover plane rubble. And now that we have a tent, we have two shelters, and can sleep in two separate places. We have our closet and our bedrooms. And Rory learned from Girl Scouts how to start a fire, and we have set up an area for the kitchen. And we have our bathroom behind the tree. Each day, Dean and I go fishing and Lorelei and Rory gather berries. We are getting the hang of island life. But there is still a sad feeling inside of us. We all love each other and are a family, but we are still sad at some times.
Early this afternoon, we all got to feeling hopeless. We were all in a state of shock before, and now it really feels real. Rory misses Lane and Lorelei misses Suki. We all miss the warm comfort of our home, and our friends in Stars Hollow. It really is depressing to think that we are alone. We're all alone on a small island with little hope of being rescued. Earlier today, Lorelei even got frustrated with our situation.
"God damn it, I wanna go home!" Lorelei said as we were having lunch.
"We all do, but we have to stay put and not freak out," Dean responded.
I glanced over at Rory, and I saw her eyes light up. There is a deep passion in her soul that I know yearns to be with Dean. I think they are perfect for each other. And I know I'm meant to be with Lorelei. After I have tried relationships with so many other women, Lorelei is the only one that I could ever truly love. We have a strong bond held together with trust and friendship. I once heard that love is friendship on fire. That is what Lorelei and I have. We are meant to be together. This is no mystery.
